Venue Accessiblity Rating

Tourism Burlington in partnership with the City of Burlington Accessibility Advisory Committee (BAAC) has adopted the following accessibility rating symbols and definitions to assist people with disabilities find venues that best suit their needs. This accessibility rating system has been adapted from the City of Vancouver “Accessible Vancouver” program. Venues that display these icons have undertaken a site audit by members of the BAAC. Not all attractions, restaurants or hotels have been rated at this time, but we are diligently working towards that goal.
